Insight

It has been my pleasure to work with adult students who wish to become middle school science teachers. Having been a science teacher for thirty-five years, I am well acquainted with the challenges of this profession. I have taught all areas in the current Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Frameworks. Additionally, I hold Professional Licensure as a Science Teacher in Massachusetts. I bring this experience to my students at Cambridge College by providing real, hands-on examples of science education.

I also serve as a Practicum supervisor. The Practicum allows me to provide guidance and support to individuals in a real-world teaching experience. This support involves pedagogical advice as well as classroom strategies for creating a learning environment that fosters interactive learning and respect for student diversity.

Additionally, I serve as an advisor for students working on their Independent Learning Projects. I find this work to be intellectually stimulating and meaningful. The topics are varied and I often find that students are excited to produce an in-depth treatise on a subject of interest to them.

In addition, I teach the Interdependence of the Ecological Environment and Human Health. This course allows me to make use of my background in environmental science as well as in biology. I appreciate the opportunity to involve health educators in the understanding of both local and global issues.

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. --Isaac Newton writing to Hooke about Galileo and Kepler, 1676.
